Johnny Cash & Joni Mitchell, "Long Black Veil"

Johnny Cash's joke about Arkansas made me laugh really hard the first time I heard it.  I don't know anyone else who thinks it's funny.  Of course, the song itself isn't funny in any way, which makes the awkward transition from joke-to-song even funnier.

Note: If you have a chance to listen to Cash perform it on "At Folsom Prison," it's especially awesome, since he calls out an inmate for laughing during the performance.
